Table 10.1 Low Temperature Film Formation Rating Scale for Cracking Rating Description Approximate no. cracks / in 2 10 None 0 8 Few ⁇ 2 6 Medium-Few > 2, ⁇ 5 4 Medium >5, ⁇ 10 2 Medium-Dense > 10, ⁇ 20 0 Dense > 20
  • Test paints were applied to test charts (The Leneta Company) using a Dow Bar with a 7 mil opening and allowed to dry, for 3 days in a room where the temperature and relative humidity were held at 75°F and 55% respectively. 10cc of tap water was allowed to stand for 15 minutes on the test paints after which was blotted dry. Blister formation was rated in accordance to ASTM D714-02.
  • Coating compositions of this invention including multistage emulsion polymers of this invention, Examples 1-4, demonstrate superior scrub resistance compared to those of Comparative Examples A-E.
